Caprese Pizza on Naan Bread

Who doesn’t love a good pizza?! I’m a big fan, myself. But I have to say, nothing beats a good homemade pizza! It’s less greasy and tastes fresh and delicious 🙂 I remember my dad making homemade pizza for us with yeast-risen crust, baked on a pizza stone- YUM! I like to make my own crust too, but sometimes you just need a quick pizza 😉 so for this caprese pizza I used naan bread. It’s perfect for using as a pizza crust because it’s flat but nice and thick so it can hold up your toppings.

This caprese pizza is perfect for a weeknight meal. It tastes fancy but it’s ready in less than half an hour with minimal effort- that’s quicker than most pizza delivery places! Make sure you choose fresh mozza, the kind that comes packaged in water. It’s soft and mild and suuuuuper stretchy when melted- perfect for pizza! I like it much better than the hard, salty “pizza” mozzarella. It also doesn’t require shredding 😉

Don’t skip the balsamic reduction, it’s surprisingly easy to make and it really makes this pizza delicious! It’s tangy and slightly sweet and really enhances the flavours of fresh basil and tomato. So yummy! You will impress your friends and family with this one 😉
